REVISED RACING RULES FOR 2009-2012

REVISED RACING RULES FOR 2009-2012
* The Racing Rules of Sailing for 2009-2012 (RRS) have been made available to
download online ahead of the worldwide date of implementation on 1 January
2009. The RRS are the definitive rules which govern sailing races around the
world. They are revised and published every four years by ISAF. The new
edition of the RRS includes marginal markings to indicate important changes
to the rules in Parts 1 - 7 and the Definitions. --
Full details

* Few people are more familiar with The Racing Rules of Sailing than US
rules expert Dick Rose. Dick has been a member of ISAF Racing Rules
Committee and the Racing Rules Committee Working Party for almost 20 years.
He is also the chairman of the ISAF Case Book Working Party, has been a
member of US SAILING's Racing Rules Committee for well over 20 years and was
rules advisor to the US Olympic Team from 1984-1992. Since the publication
of the 2005-2008 edition of The Racing Rules of Sailing, Dick has been a
central figure in the evolution of the 2009-2012 edition of the RRS.

Regarding the new edition of the RRS, Rose comments, "By far the most
significant changes for sailors will be the major revision in the rules that
govern boats at marks and obstructions (and some related definitions). These
rules are in Section C of the Part 2 rules. The old Section C rules,
particularly old rule 18, were by far the most complicated rules in The
Racing Rules of Sailing for 2005-2008. While competitors generally liked the
'game' they produced, many, including the last two ISAF Presidents, called
for simplification.

"In 2005 and 2006 the US SAILING Racing Rules Committee and the Royal
Yachting Association Racing Rules Committee developed several drafts of
possible revisions of Section C, and two preliminary US drafts were tested
on the water by various fleets during the summer of 2006.

"The new Section C rules (and related definitions) are the result of a
process that was described to and approved by the ISAF Racing Rules
Committee in November 2006. Using the US and RYA drafts and feedback from
competitors and race officials as initial input, a special working party
drafted the new Section C rules. Its members were Chris Atkins and Richard
Thompson, from the UK, and Ben Altman, Rob Overton and the author, from the
USA.

"There are other changes in the new edition of the rules, but they are not
as extensive as the changes that have been made in past revisions and for
the most part, when compared to the changes in the rules for marks and
obstructions, not critical to how the 'game' is played." --
